Tracking brochure sales keeps students focused.
If you know where you want to end up, knowing if you're tracking correctly to reach your destination is essential.
Hoping your students are out selling is not a good approach. You would probably do just as well by rolling the dice and wishing for the best.
Instead, wouldn't it be nice to know how your fundraiser was progressing before the order forms were turned in?
Since success is determined by your group's ability to reach its sales goal, you should track your fundraising progress. You can, in essence, do more than remind your students to sell.
Tracking student progress allows you to do three things. One, it gives you a barometer, two, it creates accountability; and three; it breaks the sale down into smaller goals. Here's how it works:
Announce Your Tracking Plan
At your kickoff, announce that you will check each student's progress three times during your sale:
- The day after the kickoff (day 1)
- At the halfway point (day 7)
- On the last day (day 14)
Remind them the day before each check-in day to bring their order form and money envelope.
Check Student Progress
- Ask your students to present their order forms and money collection envelopes on your three check-in days. This is to see if they are keeping up with their sales.
- Your check-in days allow you to incorporate an additional incentive, like the money game. This will motivate your sellers to exceed their check-in day goals.
